From the looks of it, Microsoft’s Games with Gold offered $947.84 USD worth of free games in 2017. Sony, on the other hand, offered $1302.73 USD worth of free games. Therefore, it’s clear that Sony comes out on top when it comes to Games with Gold vs. PS Plus Free Games. However, do note that while calculating, I added Sony’s both European and NA’s offerings. You can deduct one of these to get a more accurate figure.

This is all we’ve in our Games with Gold vs. PS Plus Free Games for 2017. Don’t forget to let us know what you think of the offerings made by both Microsoft and SIE in the comments section below!
